BFI Annual Report and Financial Statements

7 Grant in Aid received by Tate during the year amounted to £61,385,000, whereas only £53,954,000 has been recognised in Tate’s accounts.

8 EU funding has been excluded for English Heritage, and no grants from connected charities have been included either.

9 English Heritage other non-government non-capital grants are included within "Contributed Income" total.

10 The 2009/10 figure for English Heritage DCMS Grant in Aid included nil (2009: £500,000), for relocation costs deriving from the surrender of the lease on the previous London Headquarters building.

11 The RFO Annual Submission figures are from the full samples in 2008/09 and 2009/10. Any changes between years could be as a result of changes to the number of RFOs or the number of RFOs reporting their figures.

12 Regularly Funded Organisations do not easily identify donations which were donated objects, but these have been included within their total fundraising amount.

13 Arts Council England statutory account record donated objects as a movement on the donated asset reserve.

14 The BFI attempts no past valuation for purchased or donated objects and no amount is included for donated memorabilia acquired in the balance sheet.

15 The definition for "Total Fundraising/Contributed Income" can be found in the technical annex in the report.

16 The DCMS Grant-in-Aid figure is taken from the DCMS internal accounting system which reports the actual Grant-in-Aid sponsored bodies received. This excludes other public funding.
